Ko mātou tēnei | This is Us
At BNZ, we’re committed to building trusted, high‑quality data that supports our customers, regulators, and stakeholders to make confident decisions. Our team plays a critical role in enabling this — working closely with program delivery teams to manage data risk, ensure continuity, and unlock value across the data lifecycle.
We’re looking for a Data Lifecycle Engineer to join our team and help provide early visibility of data impacts across change, delivery, and platform evolution.
Mō te Tūranga | About the Role
As a Data Lifecycle Engineer, you’ll sit at the intersection of delivery, data management, and risk. Your role is to proactively identify, assess, and coordinate data impacts across releases, initiatives, and system changes — ensuring downstream reporting, regulatory, and business data needs are protected.
You’ll act as the day‑to‑day data impact coordination point across delivery teams, data stewards, risk, compliance, and analytics — helping reduce fragmentation, avoid surprises, and enable confident release decisions.
This is a full-time fixed term opportunity based in Auckland. This is a hybrid role with three days in the office and two days where you can work flexibly.
We sat down with our Head of Data – Core Banking (Who you’ll report to), and they let us know the following about the role.
What are the day to day tasks the person in this role will complete?
What is the team culture and environment like?
The team is made up of experienced data experts and engineers at all levels of experience who regularly share their recent projects, learnings and tips and tricks.
What projects / work will the candidate be working on now and into the next year?
The successful candidate will be working on both short and long term data projects in the core banking subject area (e.g. Lending, Products and Transactions), working directly with various parts of the business to identify end to end data impacts and enable data solutions.
What is the most exciting thing about this opportunity?
This role sits right where strategy meets delivery. As a Data Lifecycle Engineer, you’ll have a front‑row seat to major initiatives, platform changes, and regulatory outcomes — with the opportunity to influence how data is designed, protected, and consumed end‑to‑end.
You’ll work closely with delivery teams to surface data impacts early, reduce surprises at release time, and help the organisation make confident decisions during change. It’s a unique chance to build deep domain knowledge, shape how data risk is managed in practice, and make a tangible impact on some of BNZ’s most critical data assets.
What attributes will this person display to be successful in this role?
We are looking for someone with curiosity and a love of data, combined with a passion for understanding end to end data lifecycle from design and ingestion through to remediation and decommissioning, along with:
